About the role
As a Senior Staff DFM Manufacturing Engineer, you will serve as the critical technical bridge between Hardware Engineering and our internal Precision Shop. This role is essential for transforming complex, next-generation robotic designs into high-precision machined components. You will own the manufacturing feedback loop, ensuring that design intent is perfectly balanced with machining capabilities to support rapid prototype iterations and low-volume production. You will leverage expert-level knowledge of machining processes, tooling, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to optimize part geometry for manufacturability, cost, and lead time. If you thrive in a fast-paced R&D environment where you can directly influence the physical realization of world-class robots, this is the role for you.
What you'll bring
- Experience supporting robotics or aerospace development programs specifically within an NPI (New Product Introduction) context.
- Advanced knowledge of CAM software (e.g., Hypermill, Cimatron, Esprit) and CNC programming.
- Experience with additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping as a complement to traditional machining.
- Familiarity with PLM systems (e.g., Arena, Enovia) for engineering change control and documentation management.
- Experience with cobots and automation systems (e.g., Universal Robotics, FANUC).
- The salary range for this position will be clearly stated in the job posting as required by Massachusetts law.
- Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience.
- This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting.
- Boston Dynamics will never ask you to divulge your personal financial or account information as part of its recruiting process.
